The popular photo-editing app PicsArt is now available for the first time on Window Phone 8, so you can create amazing images right on your Lumia.

The app gives you access to a powerful set of features, clip art and other built-in tools. You can apply hundreds of different effects to your photos, giving you the ability to change your pictures in ways you might not have thought possible before.

And photo editing is just the beginning.

Try your hand at drawing, too

While you can use the full suite of drawing tools in PicsArt to add flourishes to pictures that are in your photo gallery, you can also create your own images from scratch with those tools.

You will also find a cool collage option so you can combine your photos in different ways to create new ways to see your images.

And, PicsArt easily integrates with other online services like Facebook, Twitter, Dropbox, and others, so you have access to all of your photos right on your phone.

Share your masterpiece with the world

When you are satisfied with how your image looks, you can share your digital masterpiece with other PicsArt users. You can also choose to follow your favorite artists that are on PicsArt.

And don’t forget to submit your best work to one of the many PicsArt photo competitions – they add new contests all the time.

Using in-app purchasing, you can buy additional effects, clip art, and features to increase your editing options. More features are being added to the app on a regular basis.

For your convenience, the app is localized in 15 different languages and you can get more information about the app from the PicsArt website.

You can download PicsArt for free from the Windows Phone Store. At this time, it is available for both the Lumia 1020 and Lumia 1520. Other devices will be added soon – we will update once we have more details.
